Police cant be everywhere my friend, wish they were but they arnt, and i expect there not hiding just doing paperwork and they havent got the best cars to go around in the snow in. Newbury police station covers a vast area not just newbury. plus if people cant get into work then that affects police precence aswell.
My , if rather sarcastic , point being that the police are staying out of the way because they more than most are aware of the dangers of such actions , and therefore have no desire to endanger themselves .
